This is a bit of cycling fun found today. Doing the rounds is exactly what this bicycle does. Going nowhere fast is literally what you see here. Well group exercise is what you would get if all the saddles were filled.
This blog dedicated to cycles/bikes and the variety of uses they have around the world. Being a keen cyclist and having previously worked in a cycle shop it is only natural that my interest is reflected here.

Cycling Policemen
It's a nice sight to see policemen on bicycles. Police presence is all it takes to stop trouble and with a bike creates a diffusing mode. No crash helmets though, not a good example, but I'm not in favour of compulsory helmets anyway for many reasons.

An Electric Powered Pedal Bike
A pedal bike with electric power to help you along. Every year there are new designed and improved technology and I quite like this one with the large brad tyres. It is called the A2B Metro and the retail price is around £2000.

A Black And White Pictured Cycling Accident
There is something about black and white photographs that add a new dimension to photographs and cycling photographs are no exception. this was taken in Zurich, Switzerland. this accident just poses the question, "Was the rider okay after going down head first?"

An Electric Powered Tricycle
This is an electric powered tricycle made by a company called Gomier. With 450 watts of power it is powerful enough for speeds up to 8 mph (limited due to tipping over) and steep hills. It gives around 8-10 miles per charge without pedalling or up to 25 with pedalling. With a price tag of around £1300 it is out of my reach. Not to sure that tricycles are good fro urban riding as they cannot weave like conventional bicycles although that is what it had in mind.

Cycle Race in San Francisco
Yet another cycle race and another spectacular picture. This one is form the USA again, namely a California roadway as the race makes its way from San Francisco to Redondo Beach. The grey background against the colourful foreground of cycles make a great contrast.

Sumo Wrestlers' Cycle Ride
This picture was found which was taken in Salt Lake City during the fourth annual Halloween "Sumo Ride". I found it most unusual and of course a most unique event not even found in Sumo's home Japan!

A Online Cycling Game
It is quite the case that mountain bikers get injured, I for one have not been able to ride from various accidents and illnesses over the years. It is a pity I didn't see this online cycling game when I was incapacitated, it looks quite fun. I forget the site where I found it, but with a search for cycling online games you can probably find it or another similar.

A Ski Bike
It's certainly been the weather for skiing and this picture takes the biscuit in innovation with a cleverly designed ski bike. The pedals are just footrests and it only goes downhill I imagine. It must work though.

Bicycles On Stamps
Well there is a niche in all areas when it comes to the world's most popular hobby. Bicycles has no escape from the hobby of stamp collecting. This book is an example of the passion some stamp collectors have from bicycles. I bet most of them must be keen cyclists themselves.

Cycling With Sharks
Not a place I'd like to be cycling or not! Not chance of a fast getaway if the shark decides to attack and in my opinion far worse than dogs coming at you. This aside, I'm sure this cyclist's chain and bearing will need greasing after this and assuming this is salt water the whole bike will need a good rinse.

Sexy Cyclist
Well I can't say more than say read the title, it tells you exactly what you see here. No need to be a cycling fan to appreciate the view that it presents. Looking at the sandals however, I know this woman isn't a keen cyclist and just modelled for the picture - the tyres aren't even muddy!. She also needs a helmet. So. she isn't a sexcy cyclist, just sexy.
